This commit is a rework of the component repository. The changes
included in this commit are:
- Remove the component dependency code based off .ompi_info
files. This code is legacy code dating back 10 years that and is no
longer used.
- Move the plugin scanning code to the component repository. New
calls have been added to add new scanning paths, query available
components, and dlopen/load components.
- Pass the framework down to mca_base_component_find/filter. Eventually
the framework structure will be used to further validate components
before they are used.
- Add support to the MCA framework system to disable scanning for
dlopened components on open (support already existed in
register). This is really only relevant to installdirs as it has no
register function and no DSO components.

Other changes:
- Added a flag to the MCA variable system to indicate a variable should go away
when its group does. Both mca_base_framework_var_register() and
mca_base_component_var_register() set this flag.
Notes:
- mca_base_components_open is deprecated. It will be removed in a future commit.
- All frameworks should use MCA_BASE_FRAMEWORK_DECLARE to declare their
framework structure.
- All calls to framework open/close functions should be changed to use the
mca_base_framework_* functions.
- Instead of special-casing installdirs a flag was added to prevent calling
into the variable system when opening a framework.
- Ralph: Clarify the functional definition of the "register" function in the
MCA framework object - it had the same name as another function that does a
totally different thing.
- As per discussion with Ralph the behavior of mca_base_framework_register()
is to always call mca_base_framework_components_register() if the framework's
register function was successful. This removed the need for frameworks to
have to call this function directly.
